Reviews

"The best one-stop resource is Gloria Grening Wolk's Viatical Settlements: An Investor's Guide (Bialkin Books) and her Web site (www.viatical-expert.net)."
             --
Kiplinger's Personal Finance

Wolk's book, "Viatical Settlements: An Investor's Guide" is a must read for people considering an investment. Her chapter unmasking the sales pitches is worth the price all by itself.

"This is a must-read for potential investors in viatical settlements and those who advise them."
     --
Gerry H. Goldsholle, Esq., Pres. and CEO (retired) MetLife Brokerage and Marketing Corp., former chair of Amer. Bar Assoc. and Calif. State Bar Insurance Committees

"A shot across the bow for potential viatical investors, Viatical Settlements: An Investor's Guide illuminates the mysteries and minefields of viatical investing. Gloria Wolk draws on her substantial experience in the viatical settlement industry to offer a view from the trenches that all potential investors and investment advisors should read before investing a single nickel."

Russell J. Herron, Esq., D'Ancona & Pflau, Chicago, Ill., former executive editor, University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

"'Viatical Settlements' is easy to understand, informative, and a must-read for anyone considering buying or marketing viatical investments. If this book is not on the top sellers' list it may be because it's ahead of its time."

Blair Dean, Ph.D., stockbroker

". . . excellent research which clearly exposes the scams and risks associated with viatical investments."

Arshad H. Khan, author (with Vaqaz Zuberi) Stock Investing for Everyone

"Everyone with vulnerable parents or friends should read this book. We didn't, and our parents were conned into several viatical investments that cost them many thousands of dollars as well as many sleepless nights."
    --
Richard D. Hausten, data processing manager

"When I embarked on starting a viatical business to sell to investors, I naively assumed that all I would have to do is get companies to provide me with policies. After reading both of Gloria Wolk's books I am aware that the viatical industry has to be approached with open eyes, due diligence, and both of these viatical books."

Frank Meyers, insurance agent, 12 Step Agency, Guardian Title

"Wolk wrote Ca$h for the Final Days: A Financial Guide for the Terminally Il and their Advisors, the first book to discuss viatical settlements. She now turns her attention to those who might consider buying such insurance policies."

"Viatical Settlements is a must-read for anyone considering investing in viaticals, who wants to protect their assets."
